Driven in large part by industrialization and increasing consumer wealth in very large emerging markets (particularly China and India), worldwide energy consumption has grown over 20% in the last decade and is projected to grow another 25% to 30% in the next 20 years – reaching an estimated 702 quadrillion BTUs in 2030.
 

Utilities everywhere are working now on maximizing efficiencies in their production and distribution infrastructures well into the future. They are rapidly planning and deploying networks to transform yesterday’s disjointed power distribution grid into tomorrow’s Smart Grid, potentially producing enormous gains in energy efficiency, resource conversation and environmental protection.
 

Telvent has the insight and expertise needed to turn the promise of the Smart Grid into reality for utilities. The key to the Smart Grid will be powerful software solutions that convert raw data gathered from countless points on the grid into centralized business intelligence that can then be shared and distributed across the enterprise.
